IDENTIFIER

Before you can do anything in any language, you must know how to name an identifier. An identifier
is used for any variable, function, data definition, etc. In the C programming language, an identifier is
a combination of alphanumeric characters, the first being a letter of the alphabet or an underline, and
the remaining being any letter of the alphabet, any numeric digit, or the underline.

KEYWORDS

There are 32 words defined as keywords in C. These have predefined uses and cannot be used for any
other purpose in a C program. They are used by the compiler as an aid to compiling the program.
They are always written in lower case. A complete list follows;
auto           double      int             struct

do              if              static         while

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i;
for (i = 0 ; i <8 ; i = i + 1)
printf(“First example program.n”);
return 0;
}
